beastcoast bring back the Wraith King to eliminate Outsiders from Arlington Major

beastcoast reverse sweep Outsiders to secure another top six placement on the Major stage.

As the sole SA Dota representative left at the PGL Arlington Major, beastcoast are fighting through the lower bracket rounds, but that didn’t stop them from starting the elimination series against Outsiders with a core Rubick.

 Adrián "Wisper" Dobles took Rubick to the offlane in the first game and made early rotations to give beastcoast a 5k gold advantage during the laning stage. The successful early game gave Wisper the confidence to go straight for Dagon 5 build and hunt down Outsiders’ Terrorblade in the jungle, thus pressuring the Eastern European team even more. 

However, despite getting crowded in his own jungle, Roman "RAMZES666" Kushnarev continued to focus on farming while Outisiders fought as four to give him the space to get Manta-Skadi on top of the BKB.

Itemization was key for Outsiders, who recognized very fast that they are playing into huge damage burst, coming not only from Rubick, but also a position 4 Nyx Assassin. With BkBs and a few other defensive items, such Lotus Orb, Aeon Disk, and Eul’s Scepter equipped on their heroes, Outsiders managed to take control of the game around the 30 minute mark and go straight for beastcoast’s base.

Once defeated on rather unconventional picks, beastcoast opened game two and game three drafts with Héctor "K1" Rodríguez’s signature Wraith King, a hero that up to this point was picked just two more times at the Major, in the group stages, and proceeded on annihilating Outisiders to knock them out in the top eight.

beastcoast will return to the Esports Stadium Arlington stage on the 13th of August to play against OG at 17:00 CEST in the lower bracket quarterfinals.
